He has changed up his training to be more modern but he is just to old to compete with the top tier LHW's. He helped pioneer the sport and was very successful during his first tenure. I wish he had never done the WWF bit. He wasted lots of good years there, but I'm sure his wallet is better for it.
totally agree..the fact that he is 42 yrs old and still competitive tells u how great he was in his prime

no way that gracie was way above him.......he would have won a wide UD in the rematch and he also beat dan severn too and kimo and bas rutten dont forget
